Unfortunately, this was where I first stayed on my first trip to Pattaya several years ago, and first trip to Thailand as well so I was a Real Newbie. While the hotel is nice enough, but it was-probably still is-geared for the family, I soon found out that they didn't want lady friends there. I hadn't unpacked my bags and immediately went across the street to get a cold one and the BG's ask, "Where you stay?" I pointed to the hotel and they said, "No let bar lady in."

 

I went back and spoke to the General Manager. He said that they didn't allow BG's in but in my case the hotel would make an exception. Yeah, Right! I was to go to Reception Desk and pay a 500 baht fee each time I brought Lady to hotel. Also, that the lady would have to leave in the morning and could not have use of the restaurant or the pool. Being new, and really not knowing where else to go, and not really wanting to f**k with it, I went this route. Oh, the trials and tribulations of a Newbie! Wish I would have known about this Board or one like it back then!

 

This was the only time I stayed North as much better action down south in town, IMHO. Every subsequent trip I have stayed in South Pattaya and only time I take a baht bus to go "partying" is when I go to Soi 6, 7, & 8. The rest of the time it is an easy 5-minute walk to Walking St. I haven't stayed at any hotel that requires a "joiner fee" as it is called, since that first trip, likewise in BKK & Phuket as well.

 

Just ask, " Do you charge to bring ladies in?" Now, If you want to take your wife that is a different story.

I like to stay in better class hotels if possible(3*+). After problems in the past(Montien!) I now e-mail a hotel before I book asking what their guest poilcy is.

If the reply is negative, then fcuk em.

If the answer is positive, copy the reply and show to any jumped up jobsworth that may try to charge you a joiners fee when you turn up at the Hotel at 2AM with a friend in tight jeans and top(and flip flops!).
